Personal Leave Behind

Personal Leave Behind
personal branding • double-gate fold brochure • business card
2017
I've always wanted to create my own leave behind document that I can use with potential employers, clients, or colleagues. In particular, I wanted something that spoke more richly to my portfolio and experiences than just a business card (though I created a version of that too).

The resulting design uses a double-gate fold brochure with 8 panels — four on the interior to showcase my skill set, and four on the exterior to highlight my personal branding.
Each panel is 5.5" x 8.5". Colors remain neutral throughout so attention is drawn to the select works in the center.
When folded, the two gate panels spell "CLAM," my nickname (the portmanteau of my first and last name). The signature icon on the front cover is meant to resemble a clamshell.

The central two panels are home to a few select projects pulled from my full portfolio. These include works in print, digital, film, and illustration. Below that, I list my skills.
The 3.5" x 2" business card retains the colors and style of the full-sized leave behind.
